LOCAL BLOGSMichael's Thoughts and Ramblings Michael Freeman blogs on all things "just, right, and fair," and a few things that aren't. It is not politically correct (Old-PC), but it will always be personally conscious (New-PC). Thinking About Now Martha Marinara blogs on things she notices in everyday life in an attempt to discover why lesbians are so invisible in our society. Looking Back and Moving Forward Hank Lewis blogs on random thoughts that flow through his head. Most are related directly to being a gay man in Orlando, Florida.

You can read more about Hank on the blog or on the "contact us" section of this website.

Pam’s House Blend…always steamin’. An Online Magazine in the Reality-Based Community.
Blogger Pam Spaulding describes her blog by saying, “The Blend was launched back in July 2004, and I created it to let off steam about the upcoming election and the state of issues that affect my life as an out lesbian -- the right not to lose my job because I am gay, the right to marry -- issues that were front and center as the homosexual boogeyman was flogged endlessly by the right wing. I was shouting into the electronic void, not really expecting anyone to drop by and leave comments (a way to open discussion with the bloghost and others who read a particular post). But somehow, eventually, folks dropped by, from near and far, to share what they thought about a particular rant I had for the day.
